WILLIAMS: Wait a minute! They could have had this same so-called summit that you’re speaking about — Gates and this cop could have gotten together in Cambridge drunk a beer and they could have done the same thing.

SIP: Some burger joints add wine to the menu
San Jose Mercury News
“We simply wanted to create a different kind of dining experience” says Jeff Harvey CE and president of Burgerville a 39-unit chain in the Northwest which recently added wine and beer to one of its restaurants in Vancouver Wash. The trend comes at a time when “quick serve” or “quick casual” restaurants—a restaurant that has counter service but aspires to offer something more than typical takeout—are looking to attract cash-strapped diners searching for cheaper options but not willing to give up the amenities of full-service restaurants. “If you’re more of an upscale fast food restaurant and you’re trying to trade upon that image as more of a premium product wine really fits in with that image” says David Henkes vice president of the Chicago-based market research firm Technomic. Among the quick serve restaurants selling alcohol is Denver-based Chipotle Mexican Grill which sells beer and margaritas.
